Speaker 1: I'm back on the Big one, seven hundred WLW. It's
Speaker 1: twelve oh eight. Dan Carroll in for the Great American
Speaker 1: Bill Cunningham, as we roll on until three o'clock this afternoon.
Speaker 1: Glad to be here, Glad you are here as well.
Speaker 1: And just a ton of stuff that I want to
Speaker 1: get to today. And we start off with a great
Speaker 1: guest today. Stacey Washington is a nationally syndicated host on
Speaker 1: Serious XM Radio. Stacy on the Right is the show.
Speaker 1: Her book is Eternally Canceled Proof, a Guide for Courageous
Speaker 1: Christian navigating the political battlefront. She is also the communications
Speaker 1: director for Family Vision Media and ambassador for America First
Speaker 1: Policy Institute. And if I continue to read these accolades,
Speaker 1: we'll never get to the interview. So Stacy Washington, welcome
Speaker 1: to seven hundred WW.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for having me on.
Speaker 1: Today's great to have you on. It's been amazing the
Speaker 1: meltdown by the left ever since January twenty, it's a
Speaker 1: little over a month ago when Donald Trump was sworn
Speaker 1: into office, and it really kicked into another gear this weekend.
Speaker 1: It started on Friday night when it was announced that
Speaker 1: the chairman of the Joint Chiefs was going to be fired.
Speaker 1: The head of the Navy was also fired by Pete Hegseth.
Speaker 1: And then over the weekend we got the news that
Speaker 1: Dan Bongino was going to be brought in as the
Speaker 1: deputy director of the FBI. And it has just been
Speaker 1: I think, a spectacular spectacle to watch these leftists in
Speaker 1: meltdown mode. And I mean, how much further can they go?
Speaker 1: How much? It seems like it almost seems like they're
Speaker 1: running out of arguments?
Speaker 3: To me, well, the arguments actually ran out in the campaign.
Speaker 3: They did not have an argument to the American people.
Speaker 3: I mean, weren't you surprised by I don't know about you,
Speaker 3: but I was waiting. I felt like I was going,
Speaker 3: you know, twenty five sleeps till they have Kamaa do
Speaker 3: a serious, card hitting interview. I thought, after the honeymoon
Speaker 3: period where we just got pictures of her taking phone
Speaker 3: calls outside of escalades and boarding private jets and you know,
Speaker 3: looking cool in her chucks, I thought she was going
Speaker 3: to sit down and have an interview that kind of
Speaker 3: mimicked the debate that she had with President Trump, where
Speaker 3: she was fierce and she was rude and she was sarcastic,
Speaker 3: but she actually had a few of her Democrat talking
Speaker 3: points memorized, and so I thought, Okay, she's going to
Speaker 3: sit down. First, they're going to get to meet the
Speaker 3: website together, they're going to put a whole bunch of
Speaker 3: ideas up there, and then they're going to move on
Speaker 3: to her doing these interviews and they're going to be canned.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: It's going to be the same questions but different different questioners,
Speaker 3: but a lot of it is going to be very
Speaker 3: policy driven, kind of similar to the things that we
Speaker 3: saw President Biden roll out or some of the hope
Speaker 3: and change rhetoric that we.
Speaker 2: Saw from Obama.
Speaker 3: And so I just kept on waiting, and the honeymoon
Speaker 3: period lasted a month, and I felt like someone was
Speaker 3: forced feeding me cotton candy and I couldn't make them stop,
Speaker 3: like maybe my arms were tied behind my back.
Speaker 2: And I finally thought, I can't take this anymore.
Speaker 3: And honestly, I paid a lot of attention to President
Speaker 3: Trump's rallies, but I was waiting for Kamala to come
Speaker 3: out with something and she never did, and I think
Speaker 3: it wasn't I wasn't disappointed.
Speaker 2: I know she's an empty suit.
Speaker 3: But there were so many people who'd gotten their Harris
Speaker 3: Waltz T shirts or their their Kamala gear.
Speaker 2: They were calling her Mamola. They thought she was the
Speaker 2: best things in slice bread.
Speaker 3: She had jailed cartel members and drug dealers, and she
Speaker 3: was a prosecutor, and she'd be a prosecutor president. And
Speaker 3: they just waited and waited and waited, and they never got.
Speaker 2: A freaking thing.
Speaker 3: And then they were forced to deal with the fact
Speaker 3: that she really couldn't do interviews when she took her
Speaker 3: first one and flopped, and her second and her third,
Speaker 3: And so what we're seeing is a continuation of that.
Speaker 3: The arguments that they're putting out against Elon Musk. No
Speaker 3: one elected him. No one ever elects the head of
Speaker 3: the Digital Services Agency, which is what does is. Digital
Speaker 3: Services Agency was stood up during the Obama administration. Congress
Speaker 3: authorized it passed legislation that he signed and created a
Speaker 3: agency to update the digital components of all of government.
Speaker 2: And that's all doges.
Speaker 3: It has been game has been changed, but it's functioned
Speaker 3: is the same, and Elon Musk is its head. None
Speaker 3: of the agency heads are ever elected. Elon Musk is
Speaker 3: an illegal alien. That one defies reality that they would
Speaker 3: ever accuse anyone of being.
Speaker 2: In their country illegally. Since that's what they love, they
Speaker 2: should love Elon Musquit. That's true.
Speaker 3: But the fact that he's a citizen, he became a
Speaker 3: citizen in two thousand and two.
Speaker 2: He doesn't have security.
Speaker 3: Clearance to look at our negative three dollars and fourteen
Speaker 3: cent bank accounts, and our overdrawn crap and our over indebtedness,
Speaker 3: the information surrounding our Social Security number, which has been
Speaker 3: in no less than ten data leaks over the past
Speaker 3: twenty years, ten data leakus where they got everything about us,
Speaker 3: And they're worried about Elon Musk who has four hundred
Speaker 3: billion dollars. But the fact is he holds a top
Speaker 3: secret security clearance, and he holds security clearances that you
Speaker 3: need clearances to know what the clearance is. Because his company,
Speaker 3: uh SpaceX, takes human beings and you know, all kinds
Speaker 3: of technology into space and interfaces with the International Space Station.
Speaker 2: So he has security clearances that I don't even know about.
Speaker 3: And I once tell the security clearance and my husband
Speaker 3: was top secret and my sister is top secret, and
Speaker 3: I still don't even know what those are called, So
Speaker 3: what are they complaining about Elon must They're mad because
Speaker 3: he's deadly efficient. He likes sleeping in a sleeping bag
Speaker 3: on the floor at o pm. They can't stand him
Speaker 3: because they know he's going to find whatever it is
Speaker 3: he's looking for, because he's very efficient and good at
Speaker 3: what he does.
Speaker 2: And then there's the criticisms of President Trump.
Speaker 3: They've gone from calling him Hitler, the literal personification of
Speaker 3: evil that once existed in the last century, to saying
Speaker 3: that he's not even the president.
Speaker 2: He's an empty suit.
Speaker 3: He's a puppet, and Elon Musk and Putin are the
Speaker 3: ones who are puppeteering him. None of those things could
Speaker 3: be further from the truth. But that's the ridiculousness of
Speaker 3: their arguments. And before I was stressed out by it
Speaker 3: because Biden was in charge or whatever that was, like
Speaker 3: Biden or whoever had their hand to his back because
Speaker 3: he really didn't know where he was. But now I
Speaker 3: find it comical because whenever I want a good laugh,
Speaker 3: or I just want to feel warm and cozy because
Speaker 3: it's the winter time, so I can't go look at
Speaker 3: my garden right now, I just go to dge dot
Speaker 3: g o V and I scrolled down to something I've
Speaker 3: missed updated. I spent an hour and a half down
Speaker 3: a rabbit hole. I just went to doze for my
Speaker 3: first time. I waited till February fourteenth. It was like
Speaker 3: my own Valentine's Day gift to myself. And I got
Speaker 3: on doze dot gov and I looked at all of
Speaker 3: the structures of our government, the agencies that are under
Speaker 3: the agencies that are under the agencies. I looked at
Speaker 3: the average salary of a government employee ninety three thousand,
Speaker 3: the average time in grade or tenure of these people
Speaker 3: ten years. There were details there, so fascinating, so interesting.
Speaker 3: If you're the kind of person who maybe you like
Speaker 3: a little bit of charts and graphs, is that you,
Speaker 3: then those dot gov is for you. I should make
Speaker 3: it commercial. It's so good, it's a comfort, it's exciting. Also,
Speaker 3: it's also something you can store away with back or
Speaker 3: to toss it out next time you go to lunch
Speaker 3: with your buddies. You know, maybe you're gonna go have
Speaker 3: beers or something. Maybe go watch sports over the weekend,
Speaker 3: or listen to some music at at a nice restaurant.
Speaker 3: Just store a couple of ghostbacks in your back pocket.
Speaker 3: If anybody brings up government, throw those out and then
Speaker 3: say excuse Menny to go to the lady's room and
Speaker 3: just leave and come back and don't.
Speaker 2: Be bewildered when you get back. That's fun too.
Speaker 1: I'm here for last you know, it's almost with the
Speaker 1: way you talk about it. It's almost a disservice, how
Speaker 1: fast and furious the information is coming out. Because I
Speaker 1: look at these different setups they had. I looked at,
Speaker 1: you know, last week it was the revelation about Stacy
Speaker 1: Abrams and she set up some sort of a non
Speaker 1: profit organization that went from having one hundred dollars into
Speaker 1: in the bank to a two billion dollar grant. I'm
Speaker 1: looking at it.
Speaker 3: They said she was a fundraiser. Do you remember he
Speaker 3: quote unquote lost to raise that she never conceded, and
Speaker 3: she was running around on television and all of a
Speaker 3: sudden they were like, you know, she's running.
Speaker 2: This huge multimillion dollars. That's really she raised that kind
Speaker 2: of money that fast.
Speaker 3: I always think to myself, I wonder how she's doing
Speaker 3: it as an email if she hired a company. It's
Speaker 3: hard to raise money. It really is unless you're already famous. Like,
Speaker 3: if you can get a star, a legitimate Hollywood star
Speaker 3: who hasn't ruined their reputation with politics, to come out
Speaker 3: and say that your organization is wonderful and safe and good,
Speaker 3: then Americans will donate to it. But aside from that,
Speaker 3: it's very hard to raise money. And so when they
Speaker 3: say she is, I was like, well, what, I wonder
Speaker 3: how she's raising it. She's not nice, she's not fun,
Speaker 3: she doesn't make your heart, she didn't make you want
Speaker 3: to cry.
Speaker 2: How's she raising money? Now? We know she stole it
Speaker 2: from us? She took our money.
Speaker 1: That money, Yeah, and with the assistance of Kamala Harris
Speaker 1: and Joe Biden in the White House. And I'm reading
Speaker 1: another story about this gal that was on the White
Speaker 1: House Advisory Committee and set up her own program that
Speaker 1: had to do with environmental justice whatever that means, and
Speaker 1: she got twenty million from the White House.
Speaker 4: Shell.
Speaker 1: Here's here's Shell, white House democrat from Rhode Island who
Speaker 1: voted on legislation that funneled money to an environmental group
Speaker 1: that his wife was in charge of. So it's a
Speaker 1: it's a that's the one thing that I think that
Speaker 1: the doge is doing that I enjoy more than any
Speaker 1: else is is the uncovering of the the machinations that
Speaker 1: have gone on behind the scenes for so long, and
Speaker 1: we're seeing the details now of how all this money
Speaker 1: got funneled to these different individuals, individuals who really have
Speaker 1: no business having that kind of money whatsoever, other than
Speaker 1: the fact that they're politically connected. And that's the kind
Speaker 1: of stuff that needs to come to an end. And
Speaker 1: you know, and we talked earlier about how they really
Speaker 1: don't have any arguments for this kind of stuff anymore.
Speaker 1: I was listening to one of the pundits on it
Speaker 1: was out it was CNN or MSNBC, and they were
Speaker 1: talking about Dan Bongino, and this one guy was saying,
Speaker 1: you know, a very very senior former FBI former what
Speaker 1: ever the in the federal government. And he was talking about, well,
Speaker 1: you know, this isn't right because typically the undersecretary of
Speaker 1: the FBI or the deputy director of the FBI is
Speaker 1: typically someone who's been in the FBI, someone that has
Speaker 1: all this experience, someone who and he used the phrase
Speaker 1: someone who knows how things work. And I was thinking
Speaker 1: to myself, does this guy hear himself. I mean, this
Speaker 1: is exactly what the what the Trump administration doesn't want anymore.
Speaker 1: We don't want people who quote know how things work,
Speaker 1: because the way things work has gotten us into the
Speaker 1: situation that we're in now, and we're just at the
Speaker 1: very beginning of starting to unraveling it. And so doing
Speaker 1: a way with the way things work is I think
Speaker 1: a big step in the process of getting things going
Speaker 1: in the right direction.
Speaker 3: Yes, but I'm just I want to I'd like to
Speaker 3: just call to attention because one thing we in America
Speaker 3: we used to openly love. Now we have to love
Speaker 3: it in secret because the leftists are morons and they're very,
Speaker 3: very touchy, and they literally start shaking and then freaking out.
Speaker 3: They're like Mount Vesuvius when they're upset, and we have to,
Speaker 3: you know, run for our lives because we don't want
Speaker 3: their hot lava touching us because it could make us
Speaker 3: crazy too. But the fact is, these people they don't
Speaker 3: want us to notice when people have worked their tails
Speaker 3: off and are accomplished.
Speaker 2: Couple things.
Speaker 3: I've been interviewed by Pete Texas on Fox and Friends
Speaker 3: and Who's filling in? I've been on Fox and Friends Saturday,
Speaker 3: this is all during the campaign in twenty twenty. And
Speaker 3: I always thought he was a genuinely nice man and
Speaker 3: a great interviewer.
Speaker 2: But you know, you're you're on Fox. You're only on
Speaker 2: for three or four minutes. Yeah, you know. I knew
Speaker 2: he'd written some books.
Speaker 3: All Fox News hosts have written books, and I knew
Speaker 3: he was a veteran. But when he was, you know,
Speaker 3: nominated for this position I went to I just typed
Speaker 3: his name in and his website came up, so I
Speaker 3: clicked the link.
Speaker 2: You could have.
Speaker 3: It was as if wind was blowing out of my laptop,
Speaker 3: My hair was blowing back, my eyes were squinched shut.
Speaker 2: I was like, whoa, whoa, he has.
Speaker 3: An amazing it's feedegss dot com for all of you
Speaker 3: who want to know.
Speaker 2: It's an amazing website.
Speaker 3: It talks about his military service, his time after the
Speaker 3: military's he's decorated, he's combat certified, he's killed the enemy.
Speaker 3: He's also gone to two Ivy League universities, so he's
Speaker 3: very very smart.
Speaker 2: Back when Ivy.
Speaker 3: League universities were hard to get into, hard to graduate from,
Speaker 3: and you really really like it meant something. And he's
Speaker 3: a five time best selling author, father of seven.
Speaker 2: Really, you know, I know, I know he.
Speaker 3: Has a difficult personal narrative, but but you know, here's
Speaker 3: a funny thing. Who doesn't most of us who get
Speaker 3: to judge those whour going out for public things don't
Speaker 3: have to have our lives examined down to high school.
Speaker 3: So we don't have to explain the relationships, et cetera.
Speaker 2: Et cetera. We don't have to talk about that.
Speaker 3: He had to because you know, he's been married a
Speaker 3: few times, he had infidelity. It's a strong personal narrative
Speaker 3: for someone who understands being forgiven and having to really
Speaker 3: beg and grovel to get back in the good graces
Speaker 3: of family and people that he loves. And so I
Speaker 3: I was impressed. I thought I thought he was qualified
Speaker 3: before because President Trump chose him, and President Trump when
Speaker 3: he's choosing without the assistance of people who don't like him,
Speaker 3: like Chris Christy and Mike Pence, President Trump's great at
Speaker 3: picking talent. And so I thought, you know, he thought
Speaker 3: about this, he's met with this man, he knows him,
Speaker 3: he's putting him forward. But then I went to his website.
Speaker 3: Same thing with Dan Bongina, who I'm ashamed to say.
Speaker 3: I knew he was in a secret service. I knew
Speaker 3: he was an FBI agent, but I didn't know he
Speaker 3: had a he's a NBA.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he has a.
Speaker 3: Master's degree in psychology from cun Y. He was in
Speaker 3: both of those positions, but he also was in NYPD.
Speaker 3: So this is another brilliant, well educated man with you know,
Speaker 3: he has a very salty mouth.
Speaker 2: When you listen to his podcast, you're like, whoa.
Speaker 3: You know, he's dropping all the all the curse words.
Speaker 3: He's very expressive, very passionate. But he's also well qualified.
Speaker 3: He's better qualified than the guy who dressed like a woman.
Speaker 3: The entire time he was in office over at it
Speaker 3: was like.
Speaker 1: Well he's from Pittsburgh. He talks like every other guy
Speaker 1: that I know from Pittsburgh.
Speaker 3: So that's well, I don't have to Popadan Bongino. I
Speaker 3: just get to know that he's a deputy over at
Speaker 3: the FBI and he's going to do a great thing.
Speaker 3: The Democrats had people in office who dressed like women
Speaker 3: and stole luggage from airports. They have health and human services.
Speaker 3: That guy was an actual band who lived as a woman.
Speaker 3: I mean, the people they put up were genuinely unqualified.
Speaker 3: They didn't have degrees from Ivy League universities, they didn't
Speaker 3: have combat certifications and decorations, they didn't have nbas. They
Speaker 3: were just ninkum poops, and we didn't say anything about
Speaker 3: them not being qualified.
Speaker 2: That got a lot of media attention.
Speaker 3: We all said it, we all knew it, but it
Speaker 3: didn't catch a lot of media attention. So, you know,
Speaker 3: I'm not really concerned with there. They're being upset. It's
Speaker 3: it's amusing and it's annoying, but it's not really consequential
Speaker 3: to those of us who understand what President Trump is doing.
Speaker 1: Well, it's going to be consequential once they really get
Speaker 1: the ball rolling and start doing the heavy lifting of
Speaker 1: what needs to be done. So before I let you go,
Speaker 1: you know, we had this story that broke yesterday about
Speaker 1: all these intelligence officials on secure networks that were in
Speaker 1: these chat rooms chatting with each other about different sexual fetishes,
Speaker 1: about transgenderism, about you know, the surgeries they've had, and
Speaker 1: all this other stuff. Give me about a thirty or
Speaker 1: forty second take on that revelation, and apparently there's more
Speaker 1: to come on that particular front.
Speaker 3: Well, all I got to say is our job as parents,
Speaker 3: and if you're not a parent, your job as an
Speaker 3: adult is to protect the young and the innocent. It's
Speaker 3: actually a duty that we have to protect those who
Speaker 3: are proceeding to death or danger. And if you don't
Speaker 3: do that, then you'll be held accountable for it. It's
Speaker 3: not just in this life, but in the life to come.
Speaker 3: Eternity is what we're gambling with here. So it is
Speaker 3: wrong to let children make decisions like piercing their irris,
Speaker 3: getting tattoos, or changing their genders, taking hormones that would
Speaker 3: permanently alter their physicality so that they can't reproduce. It's
Speaker 3: actually a sin and a crime and an immoral travesty
Speaker 3: to do that. You have to fight against it. Anyone
Speaker 3: who is in favor of that is a practitioner of evil,
Speaker 3: and they must not but be just fought. We have
Speaker 3: to battle them down to the ground, and they must
Speaker 3: be defeated, vanquished. They have to be put down in
Speaker 3: the order of things. They're no longer allowed to contribute
Speaker 3: to our society in a meaningful way if they support
Speaker 3: those things. Understand that, get that stealing your spine and
Speaker 3: work towards it. Every human being alive on the world today.
Speaker 3: It is a responsibility to fight evil and vanquish it.
Speaker 2: And so that's the terms we have to think of.
Speaker 1: This in well, Stacey Washington. With that, our time is
Speaker 1: gone and we will let you go. It has been
Speaker 1: great having you on, Stacy. I really appreciate it. If
Speaker 1: people want to find out more about you, where do they.
Speaker 3: Do that, Stacy on the Right on social media? Find
Speaker 3: me on Instagram and ax. I'd love to interact with you.
Speaker 1: Stacy on the Right, fantasts. I appreciated Stacy, and I
Speaker 1: hope you got a chance to do it again.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll come back anytime.
Speaker 1: All right, there you go, Stacey Washington, fantastic. Appreciate her
Speaker 1: being on twelve twenty five, Dan Carroll for Bill Cunningham
Speaker 1: on seven hundred WLW Back on the Big One, seven
Speaker 1: hundred WLW two, twelve thirty eight, Dan Carolyn for Bill
Speaker 1: Cunningham and glad to be here. Hey man, the last guest.
Speaker 1: First time I've had her on, Stacey Washington. Stacey on
Speaker 1: the Right, just terrific. And she was talking about, you know,
Speaker 1: the meltdown of the left and how they're really running
Speaker 1: out of arguments and all the rest of it. And
Speaker 1: she also made it a point to talk about DOGE
Speaker 1: DOGE Department of Government efficiency. And I've talked about this
Speaker 1: before the election, and we knew that the DOGE was
Speaker 1: going to happen. I kind of wish Vivek was still there,
Speaker 1: but he's running for governor and he said some good
Speaker 1: things I think yesterday, But the Apartment of Government efficients,
Speaker 1: he has just been a gold mine for I think
Speaker 1: for talk radio because so much information is coming out
Speaker 1: and if you go to X their X feed, you
Speaker 1: can really keep up with everything they're doing. And one
Speaker 1: of the things they've uncovered that if you know that,
Speaker 1: and this is why I think Elon Musk has these
Speaker 1: young people, these smart people, these computer savvy people in
Speaker 1: there is for stuff just like this. And they write
Speaker 1: that the agencies government agencies often have more software licenses
Speaker 1: than employees, and the licenses are often idle example, paid
Speaker 1: for but not installed on any computer. For example, at
Speaker 1: GSA Government Services Agency, they have thirteen thousand employees, there
Speaker 1: are thirty seven thousand win zip licenses. I don't know
Speaker 1: what win zip is, I don't know why they have
Speaker 1: to have those licenses, but thirteen thousand employees thirty seven
Speaker 1: thousand licenses. You don't need that many. Nineteen thousand training
Speaker 1: software subscriptions and multiple parallel training software platforms, seven thousand,
Speaker 1: five hundred project management software seats for a division with
Speaker 1: five thousand, five hundred, So they got two thousand more
Speaker 1: than they need and these things cost money. Three different
Speaker 1: ticketing systems running in parallel. I don't know exactly what
Speaker 1: that means either, but they have found out this kind
Speaker 1: of stuff, and this is the kind of waste and
Speaker 1: bloat that is going to be trimmed. Look, I understand
Speaker 1: this is all nickel and dime stuff, but if you're
Speaker 1: going to do mass firings, and I know there's some
Speaker 1: people who don't like the fact he was waving the
Speaker 1: chainsaw around at Seapack over the weekend, I thought, personally,
Speaker 1: I didn't have a problem with it. I don't know
Speaker 1: if I would have done it, but I think we
Speaker 1: get the message. But there's also some fine tuning. It's
Speaker 1: not all just slash and burn stuff. The Social Security
Speaker 1: Administration completed the same software audit initial findings four redundant
Speaker 1: survey tools that range from one hundred eighteen thousand dollars
Speaker 1: a year to one point eight million dollars a year.
Speaker 1: So they looked at the software on these computers. How
Speaker 1: much money are we spending on that? Can we save
Speaker 1: any money in those areas? Anyone got any complaints about
Speaker 1: those kind of cuts? Paying for ten thousand UI path
Speaker 1: licenses and only using half of them, paying for twenty thousand,
Speaker 1: six hundred tableau licenses and only using eleven thousand, five
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty And he says fixes are in the works.
Speaker 1: So I think that's kind of good. And then you
Speaker 1: look at what happened over the weekend, and I just
Speaker 1: want to take a moment to talk about this, the
Speaker 1: firing of the Chairman of the Joint Chief Staff, and
Speaker 1: so there was so much handwringing that was going on,
Speaker 1: it was it was almost impossible to keep up with
Speaker 1: it all. And so the chairman, Charles Brown, General Air
Speaker 1: Force General of the United States Air Force Chief of Staff.
Speaker 1: This is a guy that was totally bought in and
Speaker 1: totally wedded to the whole notion of diversity, equity, and
Speaker 1: inclusion in the United States military and throughout the military.
Speaker 1: And there was a letter that he just you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy signs letters all day long, but
Speaker 1: This is one from back in August to twenty two
Speaker 1: and the letter starts off with this, and this was
Speaker 1: a memorandum for a headquarters Air Force and it's got
Speaker 1: all the you know, abbreviations up on the top of it,
Speaker 1: and no one knows what they mean. But this is
Speaker 1: one and the letter starts off for this, and it's
Speaker 1: about the Commissioned Applicant Pool goals. So it's talking about
Speaker 1: how many goals they want to have for different officers
Speaker 1: in the makeup of the forces. Starts off like this,
Speaker 1: Diversity and inclusion are an essential part of our society
Speaker 1: and key to the success of any organization. As such,
Speaker 1: it is imperative that the composition of our military services
Speaker 1: better reflect our nation's highly talented, diverse and eligible population.
Speaker 1: And so the memory this memo goes on to talk about,
Speaker 1: you know, how many white officers they want to have,
Speaker 1: how many black you know, how many they have currently,
Speaker 1: what their goal is, and all the rest of it.
Speaker 1: And so it's fine, it's fine to have goals, but
Speaker 1: when you start off a letter saying that diversity and
Speaker 1: inclusion are an essential part of our society and key
Speaker 1: to the success of any organization, including the Department of Defense,
Speaker 1: including the military now, and that's not going to sit
Speaker 1: well with a guy like Trump. And so it's no
Speaker 1: wonder that he was fired. I mean, I am, I
Speaker 1: am not doubting his qualifications. I am not doubting his
Speaker 1: patriot it is I'm not doubting his level any of
Speaker 1: that stuff. Now, I am, I am seriously in doubt
Speaker 1: that their political outlooks and their outlooks for what the
Speaker 1: United States military ought to look like are on different pages.
Speaker 1: And I'm sorry, when you're the chief of staff, well,
Speaker 1: you know that's not going to work if the commander
Speaker 1: in chief doesn't see it that way. And so you know,
Speaker 1: we could sit here and talk all day about how
Speaker 1: it's It is not uncommon for and I don't know
Speaker 1: if you saw any of the headlines that came out
Speaker 1: from the past over the weekend, but Obama did his
Speaker 1: share of firing of top military brass as well for
Speaker 1: people that would align with his political ideas. So did
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. That's why a lot of these individuals were
Speaker 1: in place. But there was a clip that came out
Speaker 1: and and it's one of the subjects that I've talked
Speaker 1: about a lot. Behind this microphone, and that is the
Speaker 1: rot of this whole DEI idea infecting our military. And
Speaker 1: so back in July of twenty three, Matt Gates was
Speaker 1: questioning a three star general who was in the top
Speaker 1: brass of the military academies, and so he was questioning
Speaker 1: him about a program that is available to those members
Speaker 1: of our military academies. And this is how the question
Speaker 1: that this is a clip runs a little over about
Speaker 1: a minute in twenty seconds, but it's it's a good
Speaker 1: indication of just how nonsensical this kind of stuff is.
Speaker 1: And I think that it's emblematic of the kind of
Speaker 1: things that the men and women who wear the uniform
Speaker 1: should not be concerning themselves with. So let's hear a
Speaker 1: little bit of this questioning. I remember, I think I
Speaker 1: played this clip at the time when it first came out,
Speaker 1: but it's a I think it's worth revisiting. So Dave,
Speaker 1: let's hear that that's cut number two.
Speaker 4: Please.
Speaker 5: At our academies, we put pushed something called the brook
Speaker 5: Owens Fellowship. Are you familiar with that? I am, yes, sir,
Speaker 5: And in that fellowship it specifically says, if you are
Speaker 5: a cistgender man, this program isn't for you.
Speaker 1: So you just said that.
Speaker 5: Your answer on why we why we do such this,
Speaker 5: this full hug of these diversity concepts, is because it's
Speaker 5: all about the fighting force that we draw from. But
Speaker 5: you're literally pushing a program in the academies that says,
Speaker 5: if you're a cist gender woman, a transgender woman, a
Speaker 5: non binary, a gender bi gender, two spirit, demi gender.
Speaker 1: What's demi gender?
Speaker 2: Sir?
Speaker 6: That's a that's a term of the people that are
Speaker 6: eligible for that particular scholarship that's available. It's a person
Speaker 6: who looks at their gender in a in a different
Speaker 6: a different way than I do.
Speaker 7: Sir.
Speaker 5: Well, sure that's all of these people. You're a sist
Speaker 5: gender man, you don't even get to apply. Well, do
Speaker 5: you know what jenny demi really means?
Speaker 1: I'm not really sure, sir.
Speaker 5: Right, So do you know what agender means? All one word,
Speaker 5: not a space gender, but agender?
Speaker 1: Uh, sir, I don't, right.
Speaker 5: So here we are pushing a fellowship calling for people
Speaker 5: that you don't even know what the words mean. And
Speaker 5: the number one group of people, the cisgender men, are excluded.
Speaker 5: Now in the name of diversity, equity and inclusion. Should
Speaker 5: we be pushing programs that we can't define that exclude
Speaker 5: the largest group of service members.
Speaker 6: Well, sir, first, that program is not an Air Force
Speaker 6: Academy program. It's a program open to our entire country. Right,
Speaker 6: so you guys advocate for within the academy, we allow
Speaker 6: our cadets to apply for it.
Speaker 5: Why are you allowing your cadets to apply for a
Speaker 5: program when you cannot define the basic terms of eligibility.
Speaker 6: Because it's an opportunity for us to develop them as warfighters,
Speaker 6: and we look for every opportunity that we can.
Speaker 8: How can you use.
Speaker 5: This as a way to develop the war fighters if
Speaker 5: you don't know what it means?
Speaker 6: Well, some of those those terms may not be applicable
Speaker 6: to us at the Air Force Academy, but some are.
Speaker 5: But well if you don't know what they mean, it's
Speaker 5: hard to tell if they're applicable or not.
Speaker 1: So there you go. This is a three star general.
Speaker 1: Do you know what these terms even mean?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 1: You know, no, I don't. It's crazy and he's doing
Speaker 1: it because he was ordered to do it. So you
Speaker 1: can have these kind of orders filtering down throughout the military,
Speaker 1: and I suspect, and I certainly hope there are going
Speaker 1: to be a lot more firings, especially as Pete hag
Speaker 1: Seth and Donald Trump find out that we have members
Speaker 1: and leadership positions of our United States Military that still
Speaker 1: adhere to this way of thinking that we need this
Speaker 1: kind of stuff going on, and this kind of stuff
Speaker 1: has severely hurt the United States Military in terms of readiness,
Speaker 1: in terms of US free the Corps in terms of
Speaker 1: war fighting capability, and other are those who will argue that,
Speaker 1: then I'm you know that I have no idea what
Speaker 1: I'm talking about, but I you know, I listen to
Speaker 1: people who are experts on this kind of stuff. I
Speaker 1: listen to people who have lived this, I read what
Speaker 1: they say, I talk to them. And so this kind
Speaker 1: of stuff cannot be allowed to go on, at least
Speaker 1: as long as Trump. You know, we get a different
Speaker 1: commander in chief in there, God forbid, Kamala Harris whatever
Speaker 1: step foot in the Oval office again, because this kind
Speaker 1: of stuff will make some sort of a ruined comeback.
Speaker 1: And then we have James Carvel, who was I mean,
Speaker 1: this guy, he really he just doesn't care anymore. He
Speaker 1: he was on uh, he was on social media over
Speaker 1: the weekend and he was talking about, he's somehow he's
Speaker 1: pushing this narrative now that the Trump administration at thirty
Speaker 1: days in is in some sort of state of collapse,
Speaker 1: that all this is going to come crashing down, that
Speaker 1: somehow there's panic at the White House. Anyone picking up
Speaker 1: on any of that any at all. I'm not seeing
Speaker 1: any of that. There was a poll that came out,
Speaker 1: the Harvard Caps Poll, which is a really good poll,
Speaker 1: and they do the right Track Wrong Track survey, and
Speaker 1: I think those numbers are pretty astonishing. Among Republicans. Back
Speaker 1: in January of twenty four, so a little over a
Speaker 1: year ago, there were ten percent of Republicans who said
Speaker 1: the country was on the right track. Democrats fifty two
Speaker 1: thought we were on the right track. And those numbers
Speaker 1: go throughout the year twenty twenty four, the final year
Speaker 1: Joe Biden was in office, and then it gets to
Speaker 1: the final month of Joe Biden, so that's November of
Speaker 1: twenty four, so Dems who actually got up to sixty
Speaker 1: two percent. In March of twenty four, Democrats sixty two
Speaker 1: percent of Democrats in March of twenty four thought we
Speaker 1: were on the right track. That number dropped down to
Speaker 1: twenty nine percent in November. Is how badly things were
Speaker 1: going for the Biden administration. Now we have Republicans who
Speaker 1: are talking about are we on the right track when
Speaker 1: it comes to just the country in general. So ten
Speaker 1: percent in twenty twenty four January twenty four said the
Speaker 1: country in general is on the right track. Now it's
Speaker 1: up to seventy one percent. Seventy one percent of Republicans
Speaker 1: are saying we're on the right track. Only twenty one
Speaker 1: percent of Democrats are saying that. As you know, that
Speaker 1: does shouldn't be any surprise at all, But those numbers
Speaker 1: are changing wildly. But when you look at the the
Speaker 1: majority of the country eighty one percent and they talk
Speaker 1: to people about different different policies of the Trump administration,
Speaker 1: and eighty one percent supporting criminal illegal immigrants are in
Speaker 1: favor of that, in favor of what Trump is doing.
Speaker 1: When it comes to a full scale effort to find
Speaker 1: and eliminate fraud wasting government, seventy six percent support what's
Speaker 1: going on. Seventy six percent also support closing the border
Speaker 1: with additional security and policies. Sixty nine percent are in
Speaker 1: favor of keeping men out of women's sports sixty eight
Speaker 1: percent support government declaring there are only two genders. And
Speaker 1: if you heard this nonsense that came out of Wisconsin
Speaker 1: over the last few days, I guess they've got some
Speaker 1: sort of budget process going on and they want to
Speaker 1: use the term inseminated person for a to when you're
Speaker 1: when you're talking about women, inseminated person. Isn't that great?
Speaker 1: That's that that that's where society is now. We want
Speaker 1: to use that kind of language. And that's right up
Speaker 1: there with the with the term that this community prefers
Speaker 1: when you're talking about, you know, individuals who have had
Speaker 1: changes in those areas to they like the term front
Speaker 1: hole to describe certain parts of the anatomy. I mean
Speaker 1: that is very progressive, extremely I mean, really, you know,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five really moving in the right direction. What
Speaker 1: else do we have here? Sixty five percent support ending
Speaker 1: race based hiring in the government. How's that working out?
Speaker 1: Sixty three percent of Americans support freezing and reevaluating all
Speaker 1: foreign aid expenditures and the department that handled them. And
Speaker 1: I think that number would be a lot higher if
Speaker 1: the media, the national media would talk about this a
Speaker 1: little bit. I pulled an article off of NewsBusters dot Org,
Speaker 1: and it talked about just to I mean the very minimal,
Speaker 1: very scant is hand in some cases no coverage of
Speaker 1: all from some of the major networks when it comes
Speaker 1: to what is going on with DOJE or the fraud,
Speaker 1: waste and abuse that they have uncovered. So you know,
Speaker 1: it seems like this kind of stuff was everywhere, but
Speaker 1: in some places there are people who don't even know
Speaker 1: what's going on. We got to get to a break
Speaker 1: coming up here, and then we got news top of
Speaker 1: the hour, and then after the top of the hour,
Speaker 1: our friend Steve gorm is going to join us. We'll
Speaker 1: talk about environmental issues and I want to see if
Speaker 1: he kind of give me an explanation of exactly what
Speaker 1: environmental justice is, because this is an issue that knows
Speaker 1: no end. And we roll on till three o'clock this afternoon.
Speaker 1: It's Dan Carroll in for Bill Cunningham on seven hundred WLW,
Speaker 1: seven hundred WLW. It's one o eight Dan Carroll on
Speaker 1: this Tuesday afternoon. The great American Bill Cunningham taking the
Speaker 1: day off. So always great for me to sit in
Speaker 1: behind this microphone in place of Bill Cunningham, and always
Speaker 1: great to have our next guest on. Steve Gorm is
Speaker 1: the executive director of the Climate Science Coalition of America.
Speaker 1: He has authored four books on energy, climate change, and
Speaker 1: sustainable development, one hundred thousand copies in print, and his
Speaker 1: latest book is The Green Breakdown, The Coming Renewable Energy Failure.
Speaker 1: And Steve Gorm, it's always great to have you on
Speaker 1: seven hundred WLW. How are you today, Hey, Dan, great
Speaker 1: to join you.
Speaker 7: All things are going well.
Speaker 1: And before before I get into the Trump administration and
Speaker 1: the impact that's had on environmental policy around the country,
Speaker 1: I have a very serious question for you. And I
Speaker 1: was preparing for the show today and I came across
Speaker 1: the story about a young lady named Latricia Adams. And
Speaker 1: Latricia Adams was a justice advisor, a Biden environmental justice advisor,
Speaker 1: and worked on an environmental group that there was part of.
Speaker 1: You know, it was under the executive branch, and you know,
Speaker 1: this group would advise Joe Biden in the White House
Speaker 1: on environmental policy and things like that. And while Letitia
Speaker 1: was part of this group, she applied for a grant.
Speaker 1: She formed an organization called Young, Gifted and Green, and
Speaker 1: she applied for an environmental and climate Justice Community Change
Speaker 1: grant and twenty million dollars twenty million dollars as as
Speaker 1: she simultaneously while she was part of this advisory advisory group,
Speaker 1: all under the guise of environmental justice. And my question
Speaker 1: to you is what is environmental justice? I've heard this
Speaker 1: term kicked around for years and years and years now.
Speaker 1: Joe Biden would use it all the time, Kamala Harris
Speaker 1: love to say it all the time, but I've never
Speaker 1: really been able to get my head around exactly what
Speaker 1: is environmental justice? And I'm thinking I got Steve Gorum
Speaker 1: on the show today. No one better to ask than
Speaker 1: this guy writer, So can you please tell me and
Speaker 1: the and the thousands and millions of listeners that we
Speaker 1: have the seven hundred WLW what is environmental justice?
Speaker 7: Well, first off, I'm not sure justice needs an adjective,
Speaker 7: and that's not my comments is. I mean, somebody said
Speaker 7: justice is justice. You know, you don't have environmental justice,
Speaker 7: and you don't have economic justice all these other things.
Speaker 7: But I think it's the idea that the that the
Speaker 7: less healthy people in society are impacted to a greater
Speaker 7: extent by the environment and by pollution and other sorts
Speaker 7: of things. Which that can be in some cases.
Speaker 8: I think people can.
Speaker 7: Live in near power plants or other sorts of things,
Speaker 7: and there may be some issues. But certainly with the
Speaker 7: climate with carbon dioxide, it goes up in the atmosphere
Speaker 7: and it's distributed evenly all over the atmosphere, and it
Speaker 7: doesn't really affect people. And you might even say that
Speaker 7: that people that have second homes on the beaches are
Speaker 7: more impacted by hurricanes, and you know, so maybe that's
Speaker 7: in a reverse that's really not environmental justice. That's the
Speaker 7: other way around. The wealthy and society are impacted to
Speaker 7: a greater extent. I personally don't think the term it
Speaker 7: has much validity, and.
Speaker 8: Mister Trump doesn't either.
Speaker 7: In his executive orders, he has said we're going to
Speaker 7: get rid of all these things. But you know, this
Speaker 7: woman is probably a target of a lot of things
Speaker 7: that that mister Trump wants to get rid of. He
Speaker 7: has he has disbanded things like the Climate Change Support Office,
Speaker 7: the American Climate Core, the Working Group on the Social
Speaker 7: Cost of Greenhouse Gases. I mean, there are just many
Speaker 7: of these climate groups that have been established in the governments,
Speaker 7: and they give out money to the person to people
Speaker 7: like the woman you mentioned, the EPA does it as well,
Speaker 7: and mister Trump is just shutting all that down.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the the EPA dissed out one hundred and five
Speaker 1: grants under this environmental Justice umbrella and it cost one
Speaker 1: point six billion dollars. So you know, look, I know
Speaker 1: one point six billion dollars is roughly chump change, but
Speaker 1: it's still if you know, if we get into the
Speaker 1: into the mindset of cutting all that kind of stuff,
Speaker 1: I think, you know, eventually this can gain some steam
Speaker 1: and we'll get into some serious money. So one month,
Speaker 1: one month plus a month and five days into the
Speaker 1: Trump administration and we're looking at the impacts that this
Speaker 1: is having all across the environmental spectrum. Give me your
Speaker 1: take on what you see as maybe one of the
Speaker 1: two biggest effects so far as it relates to environmental
Speaker 1: issues under the Trump administry.
Speaker 7: Yeah, the impacts are huge. Number one is mister Trump
Speaker 7: issued a executive order that says temporary withdrawal of all
Speaker 7: areas on the Outer Continental Shelf from offshore wind leasing.
Speaker 7: The federal government owns all the land from three miles
Speaker 7: to two hundred miles which offshore, and you have to
Speaker 7: have a lease to put up a wind turbine. And
Speaker 7: so we have about ten states in the east, and
Speaker 7: we have California and Oregon on the west that are
Speaker 7: trying to build wind turbines offshore and they have to
Speaker 7: have a lease, and mister Trump just says he's not
Speaker 7: going to grant any more of those. And he also
Speaker 7: has tasked his head of the Department of the Interior,
Speaker 7: Doug Bergham, to look at all of these and decide
Speaker 7: if the other rescind a bunch of the things.
Speaker 8: So this is just huge.
Speaker 7: This offshore wind industry is just thrown into disarray, and
Speaker 7: all these plans of these states are are going to
Speaker 7: put on be put on hold for at least four years.
Speaker 4: So that's that is a big one.
Speaker 7: By the way, a whole bunch of a European wind
Speaker 7: company stocks plunged as soon as he did that, and
Speaker 7: they've written off a bunch of a bunch of their
Speaker 7: assets because of it. Let's see, what's the other big area.
Speaker 7: The two other ones. There's there's a promotion electric vehicles
Speaker 7: we could talk about, or cuts to renewable funding or
Speaker 7: climate policy. Those are the other three big areas. In
Speaker 7: the first month.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, we have. We have talked about these
Speaker 1: things so many times before, and so many of these projects,
Speaker 1: the offshore wind farms, the different floating solar panel farms,
Speaker 1: even some of the solar panel farms themselves. Last time
Speaker 1: we talked about the one that was out in California
Speaker 1: that that did little more than you know, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: roast migratory birds if they flew between well, you know,
Speaker 1: the giant sun collector and the mirrors.
Speaker 7: That's the Ivan Paw. After ten years, that's being shut
Speaker 7: down and it got like a a billion, six hundred
Speaker 7: million dollars from the federal government, but it has never
Speaker 7: made it specifications. It's very expensive energy. It's just another
Speaker 7: example of these these programs.
Speaker 1: And managed to exist for about half of it's uh
Speaker 1: it's uh an initial license weight. Yeah, unbelievable. Unbelievable.
Speaker 7: Well, another another big maybe the other second biggest area
Speaker 7: is this this UH efforts to shut down policies that
Speaker 7: promote electric vehicles. In his Executive Order Unleashing American Indus,
Speaker 7: Unleashing American Energy, he called for a rollback of a
Speaker 7: lot of different things, including the seventy five hundred dollars
Speaker 7: text credit for electric vehicles he's going to have to
Speaker 7: go through Congress to get that. But uh, tens of
Speaker 7: billions of dollars for charging stations all over the country.
Speaker 7: Nobody can make money with a charging station today. They
Speaker 7: cannot break even. They have to have federal and state subsidies.
Speaker 7: And as a matter of fact, the General Systems Administration
Speaker 7: GSA just announced they're going to shut down eight thousand
Speaker 7: EV chargers because the money has disappeared because of Trump's
Speaker 7: actions here. And so this is going to happen all
Speaker 7: over the country here, and it's just kind of a
Speaker 7: tremendous impact on this push for electric vehicles.
Speaker 1: So when when internal I don't know if you know
Speaker 1: the answer to this or not, but when internal combustion
Speaker 1: vehicles were first coming on the scene, Let's say, I
Speaker 1: guess what in the early nineteen twenties, and you know
Speaker 1: those vehicles were spreading across the country. Was it government
Speaker 1: subsidies that allowed for gasoline stations to pop up across
Speaker 1: the country or people? Can you know their modelties and
Speaker 1: all the rest of it.
Speaker 7: I talk about that history in my book Green Breakdown. Actually,
Speaker 7: electric vehicles had the biggest share in the early nineteen
Speaker 7: hundreds before because gasoline vehicles you had to use that
Speaker 7: crank starter, which was hard to use. But they invented
Speaker 7: an automatic starter, and then Henry Ford start an assembly
Speaker 7: line and he was making gasoline vehicles at very low cost.
Speaker 7: The other thing was they started to put roads between
Speaker 7: cities for these cars, and they need to be able
Speaker 7: to go long distance, and the electric vehicles couldn't do that,
Speaker 7: and so the gasoline cars basically wiped them out. But
Speaker 7: I don't think there were a lot of subsidies in
Speaker 7: those days, and we really should run the majority of
Speaker 7: our society based on free markets, based on businesses at work.
Speaker 7: But we've gotten into this mode where we're just there
Speaker 7: are whole industries wind, solar, biofuels, carbon dioxide capture and storage,
Speaker 7: carbon pipelines, green hydrogen. All these things require massive government
Speaker 7: subsidies to be viable, and we really need to get
Speaker 7: away from that. And I think mister Trump, if you
Speaker 7: can get a lot of this through it, get changes
Speaker 7: through Congress, he's going to eliminate a lot of these
Speaker 7: tax credits and subsidies.
Speaker 1: Yeah, last week I had a story, and I talked
Speaker 1: about it on the air, about a company called Nicola
Speaker 1: that was in the business of producing electric freight trucks
Speaker 1: at haul freight, you know, big trucks. And this is
Speaker 1: a company that got didn't get a whole lot, I
Speaker 1: think only a few million from the federal government, but
Speaker 1: most of our subsidies were in came from different states.
Speaker 1: And if you bought these trucks in different states. In California,
Speaker 1: I think he got three hundred and eighty eight thousand
Speaker 1: dollars per truck, and two hundred and eighty thousand dollars
Speaker 1: per truck in Texas and two hundred and eighty thousand
Speaker 1: dollars per truck in New York. Places like that. And
Speaker 1: so this company filed for bankruptcy last week. But my
Speaker 1: favorite part of the story was when the CEO with
Speaker 1: the company was trying to get investors for Nicola. The
Speaker 1: trucks wouldn't run. So we had a truck that was
Speaker 1: towed to the top of a hill and then held
Speaker 1: the coast down this hill and they shot they shot
Speaker 1: the video of this truck rolling down a hill and pretended,
Speaker 1: as you know, so they could show that, you know,
Speaker 1: how great these trucks are and how good they rolling
Speaker 1: down the highway. He had sued for that, But you're right.
Speaker 7: This company, Nicola, had had a market capitalization that went
Speaker 7: public four years ago, a thirty billion dollars bigger than right,
Speaker 7: it's work worth almost nothing. And we've got some others coming.
Speaker 7: Another one called Rivian Automotive. In December, the Biden administration
Speaker 7: gave them six point six billion dollar loan to build
Speaker 7: a manufacturing plant in Georgia. And boy, Solender is going
Speaker 7: to look tiny when when Rivian goes down on the
Speaker 7: free Solender is only six hundred millions. So all these
Speaker 7: things require these massive subsidies. And it's just just not
Speaker 7: what we should be doing. And mister Trump said, working
Speaker 7: hard to try and put an end to a lot
Speaker 7: of us.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's just amazing how deep the tentacles are
Speaker 1: of all this New Green Deal stuff that is within
Speaker 1: the federal government. Do you I mean, and with all
Speaker 1: the work that Elon Musk is doing, do you think
Speaker 1: it's possible to get all this stuff or rooted out
Speaker 1: of the federal government? Or even after four years of Trump,
Speaker 1: is some of this stuff likely to remain behind? And
Speaker 1: god forbid, another administration like Biden gets in there, and
Speaker 1: you know, they start cranking all this stuff up again.
Speaker 7: Yeah, an awful lot needs to be removed. It's it's
Speaker 7: a huge I mean it's it's just a massive substance.
Speaker 7: Something like eighty billion dollars a year according to the
Speaker 7: Cato Institute, is going to win solar, bio fuelds.
Speaker 8: And all these things.
Speaker 7: So it really is going to count on what Congress
Speaker 7: can do, what the House can do, and what the
Speaker 7: Senate can do. Can they stay scale? Is stuff back?
Speaker 7: And I'm not against wind and solar. You know, I
Speaker 7: was just out in Hawaii. If you're in Hawaii, they
Speaker 7: don't have pipelines out there, they got a lot of wind,
Speaker 7: they got a lot of sun.
Speaker 1: It's great.
Speaker 7: But if you're in Ohio or you're in New York,
Speaker 7: it doesn't make sense when solar panels don't even break
Speaker 7: even on the life of the energy required to build them.
Speaker 7: They don't break even over their lifetime until you get
Speaker 7: south of You got to get down about North Carolina
Speaker 7: for them even to break even. Wind turbines get a
Speaker 7: thirty percent tax credit. Thirty percent of their price is
Speaker 7: paid and then another ten percent for certain bonuses. The
Speaker 7: federal gunner's paying almost half of the cost of a
Speaker 7: wind system. Now that's just crazy. So you know, let's
Speaker 7: get back to competition, free markets. And in any case,
Speaker 7: you know, we're not going to stop the oceans by
Speaker 7: rising by doing all of this. That's that's a modern superstition.
Speaker 1: Yeah. A couple of things that Trump has in the
Speaker 1: works right now is he said the other day that
Speaker 1: he wants to bring the Keys Don't Excel pipeline back
Speaker 1: to life. And that was you know that that was
Speaker 1: a huge cut when when Biden first got in office
Speaker 1: canceling that deal. And I think it was like, you know,
Speaker 1: forty thousand people found themselves out of a job overnight.
Speaker 1: So you know, I didn't see a lot of you know,
Speaker 1: he told him to go out and learn how to code,
Speaker 1: so I didn't see. I didn't see a lot of
Speaker 1: hand written over that. So we've got that. And then
Speaker 1: and then he's also working on this deal with Ukraine
Speaker 1: that would allow US mining companies to go in and
Speaker 1: extract rarer minerals from Ukraine. If that deal comes around.
Speaker 1: How much of a financial boom would that be for
Speaker 1: the United States? If if they get this deal with
Speaker 1: Ukraine and they and you know, we start getting a
Speaker 1: lot of economic activity cranked up with Ukraine to get
Speaker 1: rare well, we use.
Speaker 7: We use the rarests and everything for military stuff and
Speaker 7: too many things. But they're also heavily used in renewables
Speaker 7: in uh in evs and winsol and bio fields in
Speaker 7: China has been threatening and I think in some cases
Speaker 7: they're cutting off the supply of rarrors.
Speaker 8: They produced about.
Speaker 7: Half of the world's rarer So the Ukraine thing would
Speaker 7: be a pretty big deal. But you know, we're just
Speaker 7: going to have to see about this how it goes.
Speaker 7: You know, I think this is just terrific. This could
Speaker 7: be the start of the of the rollback of the
Speaker 7: net zero energy transition across the world. It's going to
Speaker 7: take decades to get back to something sensible because so
Speaker 7: many people are invested in this. But it's about time
Speaker 7: that that some of these things are occurring. In the
Speaker 7: United States is leading the way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and uh, I guess we're also out of the
Speaker 1: Paris Climate Agreement again. So does this mean that no
Speaker 1: one pays attention to John Carey anymore? Or does he
Speaker 1: keep doing you know, is he flying around on his
Speaker 1: own dime these days? What's he been up to?
Speaker 7: I think so? Yeah, he's I think he's doing his
Speaker 7: own own deal and and yeah, Trump said he's going
Speaker 7: to get rid of the Green New Deal that Acossio
Speaker 7: Cortez was a big, a big fan of. He's withdrawing
Speaker 7: from the Paris Climate Accords, and he's having the EPA
Speaker 7: look at the Endangerment Finding December seven, two thousand and nine,
Speaker 7: the EPA rule that greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide threatened
Speaker 7: the public health and welfare of current and future generations.
Speaker 7: And I call that December seventh the data that live
Speaker 7: an infamy. But that is the basis for all of
Speaker 7: the climate regulations in the United States. And if he
Speaker 7: can get Lee's Elden, new head of the EPA, to
Speaker 7: look at that and roll that back, that would just
Speaker 7: be a massive change. So we're gonna have to see.
Speaker 7: It's gonna be wild over the next next few years.
Speaker 1: Yeah. As Zelden in charge of the EPA, I think
Speaker 1: is going to be a very interesting time to see

Speaker 1: which is the National Security Agency, the d i A
Speaker 1: which is the Defense Intelligence Agency, and the CIA, which
Speaker 1: is the Central Intelligence Ye. So you got all these
Speaker 1: people working for these different agencies and they and they're
Speaker 1: sitting around in a in a government chat room talking
Speaker 1: about genital castration, artificial vaginas, talking about gang bangs, talking
Speaker 1: about different in.
Speaker 9: Save Harbord you know that, Toyo, we're not in Safe harborall.

Speaker 7: So?
Speaker 1: Are you gonna You're gonna cry when these people go

Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta look at it. Once I told you,
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean I watch it. I gotta. I gotta
Speaker 1: know what. I gotta know what the other's like, Cunningham,
Speaker 1: I gotta know what the other side is talking about.
Speaker 1: Cares well people, people that listen to this station care
Speaker 1: They want to know what's going on.
Speaker 8: We tell them every day.
Speaker 1: But apparently they were talking about sex polycules.
Speaker 8: Because even don't even what is that. I have no idea.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I might, I might violate some
Speaker 1: kind of you probably are some kind of iHeart thing.
Speaker 1: If I try to look that up, thanks a lot.
Speaker 1: I don't know what that is.
Speaker 8: I don't either.
Speaker 1: But whether they why then? Why are why are government
Speaker 1: employees sitting around talking about that kind of stuff?
Speaker 8: Don't answer me? Ask them. That's why they're probably out
Speaker 8: of a job.
Speaker 1: I don't know your tax dollars going for that kind
Speaker 1: of stuff.

Speaker 1: Carroll in for the Great American Bill Cunningham. Final hour
Speaker 1: of the show today, and we kick it off with
Speaker 1: a great guest from hotair dot com, one of the
Speaker 1: great websites that I look at on a regular basis.
Speaker 1: It is always my pleasure to welcome in my buddy
Speaker 1: David Strom from hot Air and David Strom, welcome again
Speaker 1: to seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 4: Well I'm a great American too, Well, you.
Speaker 1: Can't absolutely you can be you know and look as
Speaker 1: a great American I want to put you on the spot.
Speaker 1: All right, you ready, sure a bullet point for me?
Speaker 1: Five things you did last week?
Speaker 2: Come on?
Speaker 4: I can name, I can name thirty one. I wrote
Speaker 4: thirty one columns last week. I did the dishes every night,
Speaker 4: I cooked every night, and I took care of my cat.
Speaker 4: How's that now?
Speaker 1: See, if you're a federal employee, apparently you have the
Speaker 1: right to get all indignant about that. And I love
Speaker 1: the tweet that came out from Elon over the weekend
Speaker 1: where he said, look, he said, look, essentially, this is
Speaker 1: an exercise to see if you can write down a
Speaker 1: couple of sentences on an email and send it in.
Speaker 1: He said, it's not a very high bar. And it's
Speaker 1: just amazing to me how worked up so many people
Speaker 1: got over this email that went out over the weekend saying, yeah,
Speaker 1: what'd you do last week? Five things? Come on? How
Speaker 1: hard can that be?
Speaker 11: Well, you know what this is really all about is
Speaker 11: a tug of war between who has the power, the
Speaker 11: permanent bureaucracy or the elected officials and you know, the
Speaker 11: people who they choose, And it really is about nothing else.
Speaker 4: And you know what they're really angry about is they
Speaker 4: feel that it is just oppressive that they have to
Speaker 4: answer to anyone. I mean, it really is that simple.
Speaker 4: You know, we kept on hearing about how offended they were,
Speaker 4: about how this was bad for their morale. Well, why
Speaker 4: you know it would I saw a federal employee who
Speaker 4: had worked at the private sector who said, I had
Speaker 4: to do this every week, and you know it took
Speaker 4: me six minutes to answer, and then I forgot about it.
Speaker 4: You know, like you should be able to answer those questions.
Speaker 1: Well, Trump, I already gave them one. You know, they
Speaker 1: could say I went back to the office. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's one thing right there. Yep, So there's you know,
Speaker 1: twenty percent of your work was done for you by
Speaker 1: just heading back into the office. I mean, again, you
Speaker 1: said a little bar. But I think one of the
Speaker 1: other interesting things that the Vike said, not that the Veke,
Speaker 1: but Elon Musk said over the weekend was that what
Speaker 1: we're going to do with this exercise is we're going
Speaker 1: to find out how many employees are on the payroll
Speaker 1: that aren't actually employees. I think we're going to find
Speaker 1: out that we have a number of employees who are
Speaker 1: ghost employees who don't actually exist, or maybe dead that
Speaker 1: are still collecting paychecks. And I don't know, I think
Speaker 1: that's a pretty good way to weed that kind of
Speaker 1: stuff out.
Speaker 4: Well, in fact, that's got to be about eighty percent
Speaker 4: of what this is about, because there are two million
Speaker 4: federal employees and I guarantee you that.
Speaker 1: The forty or fifty people in DOGE.
Speaker 4: Are not going to read them. You know, it's going
Speaker 4: to be you know, the federal employees may say, well,
Speaker 4: you know, then you shouldn't ask us to do this,
Speaker 4: but you know the answer is is that people should
Speaker 4: have to feel like they are accountable or alive. You know,
Speaker 4: how many no show jobs are there? And that's a
Speaker 4: perfectly legitimate question they ask.
Speaker 2: I mean, we know.
Speaker 4: That about four trillion dollars of what the government spent,
Speaker 4: So what is that sixty percent or so of what
Speaker 4: the government spends. They don't even have a line for.
Speaker 11: What it is.
Speaker 4: It's just a check that goes out and that's how
Speaker 4: our government works.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 4: Now somewhere someone signed off on it, but it's not
Speaker 4: anywhere where anyone else can check you know, I did
Speaker 4: good thing. It's like, well, that's not much of an answer.
Speaker 1: Just at this point, something that's going to be better
Speaker 1: than nothing. So they gave them, they gave him, you know,
Speaker 1: they threw them a bone, gave them an extension on that,
Speaker 1: and I think it's going to be I can't wait
Speaker 1: till they release some of the responses that they got
Speaker 1: because you know they're going to be just absolutely classic.
Speaker 1: But a story that broke about twenty four hours ago
Speaker 1: was this story, the story about the secret transgender sex
Speaker 1: chat rooms involving employees of the NSA, the c i A,
Speaker 1: and the d i A. And I think I think
Speaker 1: the really shocking part, you know, and not the okay, fine,
Speaker 1: they're talking about sexual fetishes and you know, transgenderism and
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. But I think the really
Speaker 1: shocking part when I read the story on hot air
Speaker 1: dot com is that the that there's a source that
Speaker 1: talks about that that this was done, you know, not
Speaker 1: without the knowledge of the higher ups, but that this
Speaker 1: was done uh as A as a means of promoting diversity, equity,
Speaker 1: and inclusion throughout the government. So you know, this activity
Speaker 1: during working hours on government computers was not frowned upon,
Speaker 1: it was encouraged. And these people spent in some of
Speaker 1: these people spent all day in these chat rooms talking
Speaker 1: about this kind of stuff.
Speaker 4: Well, diversity is our strength, yeah, I guess so, yeah, so,
Speaker 4: And you know, there has to be equity because of
Speaker 4: course if heterosexualists did this, they also would be applauded
Speaker 4: or fired.
Speaker 2: I mean, think about it.
Speaker 4: You know, anyone who has worked in a business.
Speaker 8: I mean I I got out of.
Speaker 4: Politics for a while and I decided I'm just going
Speaker 4: to go into sam So I did that for two
Speaker 4: years because I was burnt out and there were I
Speaker 4: think five employees. I was selling cameras, five employees, and
Speaker 4: the very first thing I had to do was watching
Speaker 4: an HR video and a huge chunk of it was
Speaker 4: about never discuss sex or anything like that adjacent to
Speaker 4: it at work.
Speaker 1: Yes, you know, and here we have.
Speaker 4: The you know, the most serious intelligence people maybe in
Speaker 4: the world. I mean, they're supposed to be looking out
Speaker 4: for the safety and security of the United States, and
Speaker 4: instead they're talking about you know how you know, they're
Speaker 4: getting body parts cut off, you know, implants, having orgies.
Speaker 4: I mean, some of this stuff was totally discussing, and
Speaker 4: they're doing it on the taxpayer's dime, and it's just bizarre.
Speaker 4: You know, there's entire HR departments, probably in the government,
Speaker 4: because they push all this stuff in the government that
Speaker 4: would spire anyone else except the Alphabet mafia over this.
Speaker 1: Well, and the point you just made was something that
Speaker 1: I was reflecting on as I was reading this story.
Speaker 1: You know, I've been working in the private sector since
Speaker 1: the mid nineteen eighties, and I can't tell you how
Speaker 1: much time I have spent being lectured to and watching
Speaker 1: and you know, going to seminars and watching videos that
Speaker 1: tells you not to engage in this sort of conversation
Speaker 1: on company time. How frowned upon this actually is. And
Speaker 1: then here we have. You know, not only is it
Speaker 1: not frowned upon, it is encouraged. It's part of it's
Speaker 1: a you know, according to you know, these people that
Speaker 1: run these security agencies, this is an absolute imperative that
Speaker 1: this sort of activity is engaged in.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I mean I remember being told don't comment
Speaker 4: on someone's new haircut, Oh you look good to.
Speaker 1: You you're asking you do something like that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you know, discussing your your orgy or the
Speaker 4: fact that you like to be doggy masks while having sex,
Speaker 4: and you know, perfectly okay. In fact, as you said,
Speaker 4: vital to national security. And there's another angle to this
Speaker 4: that's adjacent to it. CNN did something about, well, you
Speaker 4: can't let intelligence officials go, and the reason was because
Speaker 4: they're likely to commit treason by selling out the United States.
Speaker 4: So the idea is, you know, if you work for
Speaker 4: the CIA or the NSA or the intelligence part of
Speaker 4: the FBI, you are going to commit treason if you're
Speaker 4: let go in a reduction of force to which I'm
Speaker 4: my first thought was, well, if that's true, you know,
Speaker 4: we should fire them right away because they don't belong
Speaker 4: anywhere near you know, the nation's secret. What makes you
Speaker 4: think that they won't sell us out for money while
Speaker 4: they're there? It's just insane.
Speaker 1: Well how yeah, how how well vetted were these people?
Speaker 1: If if they cave that easily that you know, the
Speaker 1: threat of their job situation changing, that the first thing
Speaker 1: they're going to do is sell their information to the
Speaker 1: highest better.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it's just bizarre, and it tells you
Speaker 4: And by the way, that was a leak from I
Speaker 4: think the CIA or the NSA, So it's someone leaking
Speaker 4: this information from inside and they're already violating the law
Speaker 4: for doing that. So you know, here's someone breaking the
Speaker 4: law talking about how other people will break the law
Speaker 4: unless we kiss their behind. It's just insane.
Speaker 2: But this is how.
Speaker 4: You know, a certain class of people in the government
Speaker 4: think that they are entitled to our money. They are
Speaker 4: entitled to unlimited respect, no matter what. They can do
Speaker 4: anything they want at work, including not work, and they
Speaker 4: are entitled the permanent employment. And you know, I don't
Speaker 4: dislike people who work for the government, and I don't
Speaker 4: think that they are all bad people or unproductive. It
Speaker 4: varies quite a bit. But if you put people into
Speaker 4: a situation where they have carte blanche to do or
Speaker 4: not do anything, you're going to encourage bad behavior. And
Speaker 4: that's what we're saying.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're we're seeing a lot of it. What's it
Speaker 1: been like for you and your colleagues over there at
Speaker 1: Hot Air trying to keep on with just the sheer
Speaker 1: volume of newsworthy stories, and it's it's amazing. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the story about Jennifer Granholme comes out
Speaker 1: the other day. You know, she you know, she was
Speaker 1: part of approving this six hundred million dollars that went
Speaker 1: to utilities out in California, and now she's on their board.
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean this, it is. It is literally
Speaker 1: one huge scan things that used to bec absolutely scandalous
Speaker 1: years ago, but today they barely get a blurb, barely
Speaker 1: get a blip in the media. And trying to keep
Speaker 1: track of all this has got to be I mean it,
Speaker 1: it's got to be like a time you've never had
Speaker 1: there in this business.
Speaker 4: Oh absolutely, it's drinking from a fire hose. I write
Speaker 4: about five percent of the stories that I could write about,
Speaker 4: and I write thirty one a week. So I will
Speaker 4: tell you the upside to this is it's been great
Speaker 4: for business. People are paying attention. I am now getting
Speaker 4: about twice the reads that I did a year ago,
Speaker 4: which is good for me too. And you know, there's
Speaker 4: just a certain of things to write about, and I
Speaker 4: like to write about cultural issues, and there's a lot
Speaker 4: of stuff coming out, you know, on the alphabet issues,
Speaker 4: you know, the transgender stop like the FDA had seventy
Speaker 4: thousand reports of adverse events with puberty blockers for kids,
Speaker 4: and they completely ignored it. In fact, we were being
Speaker 4: told by these people that you know, there's you know,
Speaker 4: no permanent damage, and you know it's good for kids,
Speaker 4: and you know it's all about their mental health, and
Speaker 4: they just ignored seventy thousand reports of adverse events up
Speaker 4: to and including debts from this completely over ideology. And
Speaker 4: I haven't been able to write that story because there's,
Speaker 4: you know, too much to write about. I will eventually
Speaker 4: do so, but you know, it's a little frustrating, although
Speaker 4: only a little, because it's great that you're you know,
Speaker 4: you're writing thirty one stories. You're looking for ths to
Speaker 4: write about.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's you know, I said before the election that
Speaker 1: DOGE was going to be an absolute gold mine of
Speaker 1: information and topics for people like me the two talk shows,
Speaker 1: and it has just been beyond my wildest expectation.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, there are three things that pop to mind about DOGE,
Speaker 4: and all of them are things that were technically known
Speaker 4: but nobody talked about. I forget which consulting firm it was,
Speaker 4: but there there is. The head, the president of this
Speaker 4: consulting firm testified before Congress that if you just did
Speaker 4: identity checks and eligibility checks, the federal government could say
Speaker 4: one trillion dollars. Yeah, I met one trillion dollars. I
Speaker 4: mean that's not even looking at USAID and all sorts
Speaker 4: of other things. That is almost exclusively you know, in
Speaker 4: the entitlement programs where often they just don't check. You know,
Speaker 4: it's the honor system, you know, which is absurd. If
Speaker 4: you're sending out two three four thousand dollars checks every month,
Speaker 4: people have a great incentive, the cheap to lie uh
Speaker 4: uh you know, and it just goes on and on
Speaker 4: and on where uh the government is bloated uh and
Speaker 4: you know, worse than bloated. Often it works against us uh.
Speaker 4: You know. You know. Another another example that came out
Speaker 4: was it turns out that USAID uh, you know, they
Speaker 4: weren't just doing the censorship. They weren't just doing the uh.
Speaker 4: I mean, very little of that money went to you know,
Speaker 4: rice beans in medicine. It's about regime change and you know,
Speaker 4: transgender issues, Well, we were funding uh you know Stonewall UK,
Speaker 4: which is embedded in the government. It's technically an MNGO,
Speaker 4: but they had people in all the government agencies there
Speaker 4: setting policies and they're having to lay off about half
Speaker 4: their staff because USAA IDEA is not sending the money.
Speaker 4: So you know, the United States government was basically paying
Speaker 4: to change transgender policies and Great Britain. How is that?
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Isn't it amazing how how quickly some of these programs
Speaker 1: come to a screeching Hali soon is it's announced that
Speaker 1: the money is going to dry up. It is beyond amazing.
Speaker 1: And then there was a headline that came out the
Speaker 1: other day about you know, these billions of dollars that
Speaker 1: we're supposed to go to Haiti and build all these
Speaker 1: homes and I think for what twenty billion or forget
Speaker 1: what the exact number is, but there was like, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe fifty homes that were built. And I thought to myself,
Speaker 1: what the Clinton administration big on the Haiti relief effort?
Speaker 1: And someone's going to be looking into that. But David Strom,
Speaker 1: we got to run and we didn't even get a
Speaker 1: chance to talk about joy read and how ms see
Speaker 1: is now a hotbed of white supremacy. Supremacy. I mean,
Speaker 1: you can't make this kind of stuff up. But David
Speaker 1: strump and I'm gonna tell everyone to go to hot
Speaker 1: air dot com. It is a great read every single day.
Speaker 1: And I, as always h I told you the segment
Speaker 1: was gonna fly by, and it did. But David great
Speaker 1: to have you on and we'll do it again before

Speaker 8: Rick Flair has had a better career, and.
Speaker 9: You know who absolutely. I mean, come on, what do
Speaker 9: you put up? Take all the current presidents and fill them.
Speaker 1: In a ring? That wouldn't be very good.
Speaker 8: I don't think so.
Speaker 1: I don't think so.
Speaker 8: One thing, though, is the one thing is the Trumpster's

Speaker 9: test free agency, although he has a lot of problem.
Speaker 1: Withes say, wasn't he hurt last year?
Speaker 9: Sources say that four time Super Bowl champion tight end
Speaker 9: Rob Gronkowski is considering a return to the NFL. Rocky
Speaker 9: is not here because apparently he is considering a return
Speaker 9: to the National Football League.
Speaker 1: So he's out negotiating a contract as we speak.
Speaker 8: I don't know. I don't know what he's doing.
Speaker 1: Is he is he going to negotiate?
Speaker 8: I don't know. So apparently the Rock wants to come back.
Speaker 1: Well, if Gronk can come back, why can't the Rock
Speaker 1: come back?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 8: And an NFL legend, JJ Watt.
Speaker 1: I just saw the I just saw Gronk on an
Speaker 1: underwear commercial right after you left last time.
Speaker 9: Dan Patrick showed today says he will live up to
Speaker 9: that bet with his Burnley goalkeeper James Tafford to play
Speaker 9: for the Bengals if he doesn't allow a goal for
Speaker 9: the rest of the season in the English Championship League.
Speaker 1: How's how's the How's he going to go the whole
Speaker 1: season without letting up a goal?
Speaker 8: He's one of the best ones in the world.
Speaker 1: What if there's what if there's a shootout? I don't know.
Speaker 1: Does that count?
Speaker 8: I have no idea.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 8: I'm just saying, I'm just giving you the facts. I
Speaker 8: don't know everything about that.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know that much about soccer, but
Speaker 1: I know when they have when they have the shootout,
Speaker 1: the goalie says, he says, you got a guess which way?
Speaker 8: It could be penalty kicks too.
Speaker 1: I mean you know, I mean, well that's what I meant,
Speaker 1: penalty kick. Yeah, so I don't know. Like, like I said,
Speaker 1: I don't know much about soccer. But when but the
Speaker 1: goalie said that, you have to try to guess which
Speaker 1: way the guy is going to kick the ball and
Speaker 1: then you dive that way.
Speaker 9: Speaking of soccer, in the second round, it's round two
Speaker 9: of the Conkak calf Champions Cup tomorrow, FC Cincinnati at
Speaker 9: t QL Stadium, hosting f C Montagua.
Speaker 8: They're out of Honduras of course last week and already

Speaker 8: have away game there a week ago, four to one win.
Speaker 8: Now they play them again.
Speaker 9: They beat them tomorrow night, then they move on to
Speaker 9: the second round against whoever.
Speaker 1: Seems very complicated, isn't it?
Speaker 9: Six o'clock on Fox Sports thirteen sixty is Pat Noonan
Speaker 9: will lead his men to another win. Too bad, It's
Speaker 9: not going to be like twenty below zero.
Speaker 8: Well they played what MESSI played an inner Miami and
Speaker 8: what six below zero in Kansas City last week?
Speaker 1: How'd that work out?
Speaker 8: It was cold? Looked like they were cold.
Speaker 1: Did they break out the orange ball?
Speaker 9: I don't know, but you know, so let's see what else.
Speaker 9: Red's a big win yesterday with eight to one over
Speaker 9: the Dodgers. That's going to propel them to the title.
Speaker 9: I know in the new pitcher looked pretty good. Brady
Speaker 9: Singer yep, and he a good start for him, two
Speaker 9: innings too, hits four strikeouts, So uh uh. Nick Lodolo
Speaker 9: gets the start tomorrow for the Red Lakes as they
Speaker 9: continue the Cactus League against the Angels, and then they're
Speaker 9: on this weekend right here on seven hundred WLW.

Speaker 1: I just put the radio on and have it on
Speaker 1: in the background.
Speaker 8: Doesn't get any better than that.
Speaker 1: That's fantastic. So but seg I was hoping that the
Speaker 1: Rocky would show up today.
Speaker 9: Well, like I said, I think he's contemplating a comeback
Speaker 9: because he wants another ring as you know over the
Speaker 9: what if they signed Hendrickson?
Speaker 4: J J.
Speaker 9: Watt wins this bet to play and the Rock returns
Speaker 9: to the this time to the Bengals as.
Speaker 8: Middle line back.
Speaker 1: The middle Jim Leclair remember him, I remember Jim Leclair. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he'll be the uh, he'll be the play caller on defense.
Speaker 9: That would be that would be that hat trick of
Speaker 9: doom right there on the defense Hendrickson Watt Rock.
Speaker 1: And then after the first series of the year, what
Speaker 1: do we do after that? I don't know, because those
Speaker 1: guys will be done after one series.

Speaker 1: went to that state meet, you know, five years in
Speaker 1: our own I mean, and and there's nothing like it.
Speaker 1: I mean, it really is.
Speaker 7: It is.
Speaker 1: It was one of the greatest atmosphere, maybe the greatest
Speaker 1: atmosphere in all of high school sports. Really. Yeah, I've
Speaker 1: seen it described that way. Sports Illustrated did a big
Speaker 1: article on it one time, years and years and years ago,
Speaker 1: and the guy that was my son's head coach was
Speaker 1: actually on the cover of Sports Illustrated. It was just
Speaker 1: a shot of the crowd right in the in the
Speaker 1: pool and and he's like, oh, that's my relay, that's
